Will JSF 2.2 support HTML 5? Where is JSF in the age of HTML5?

As we know, most browsers have now support for HTML5, which is a sweet revamp from HTML4 (More commonly just known as HTML). HTML5 will be fully supported in JSF 2.2.

JSF 2.0 is the second release of JSF 1.0 specification just as EJB 3.0 is to EJB 2.0.

At a glance:

JSR JSF Version
JSR 314 * JSF 2.0
JSR 314 * JSF 2.1
JSR 344 JSF 2.2

*JSF 2.1 is a maintenance release to JSF 2.0 just as EJB 3.1 is to EJB 3.0, JSF 2.1 shares a JSR number (JSR 314) with JSF 2.0.

JSR 344 is currently still in draft review stage, there are no stable implementation (Either Mojarra or MyFaces) of it at the moment.
